TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1826. PiticE 7D. It is perhaps remarkable, that I know no. game of cattle except marts, and that I have never been in the habit of playing, or w ing it played, except in the society of ladies. That, to the beet of m y knowledge, I never saw the game of Loo played, except once, seven years ago, and then the play was very low indeed. That. though 1 have lust very large sums at dice, I on no occasion,; eat ut no game whatever, have won so large a sum as ;SOL of soy Man at private play. That I had no other scquainteneu with the parties than what I have idready stated—ao that *ha person whom I hid known longest, I had only been in the batch of spenkiag to f o r about a fOrtnight or three weeks, nor in that period can I Lava had more than five or six Interviews with him. I have out seen Mr. Auldjo's statement, therefore I cannot answer it, further than that I hear he declares that though not intoxicated he was con fused by wine. Thet this is unfounded in fact, may be ptoved by each nobleman and gentleman present, by the muter and mis tress of the Hotel at Richmond, and by the waiters, ostlers, &e., in short, by every person who taw him. This fact needs no coin.. went. (Signed) BETHELL WALBOND. Chapel-street West, Nov. 10. This day was published, in one thick vol. royal Bvo. price 255. bds.

STATE OF TRADE. Hthe rival claims of two runners tied in sacks, or two grinners • through a horse-collar. Such were the. habita, the business, and the amusements of our old acquaintance Master Frost. Home he had none, nor tinnily, saw the old sheep-dog' and the old grey horse, who lived like him self, on the road, for it was his frequent !toilet that Ito never entered a house, but ate, drank, and slept in the cart, his only dwelling-place. Who would ever have dreamt of Jacob's mar rying ! And yet he it is that has just driven down the vicarage lane, seated in, not walking beside, that rumbling conveyance, the mare and the sheep-dog decked in white win favours, already somewhat soiled, anti wondering at their own finery ; himself adorned in a new suit of brown exactly o f th e o ld cut, adding by a smirk and a wink to the usual knowingness of his squinting visage. There he goes, a happy bridegroom, perceiving and .enjoying the wonder that he has caused, and chuckling over it in low whispers to his fair bride, whose marriage seems to the puzzled villagers more astonishing still. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. St a—l have often had occasion to admire the freedom with which you have exposed and censured magisterial insolence and oppression ; and I have been pleased to find my own indignant feelings on such ()evasions maintained by your observations. But I cannot help thinking that your strictures on Magistrates and Parish Officers, in a recent case of bastardy, too severe, and your general view of the question erroneous. Parents are, jointly and separately, hound to maintain their le gitimate offspring as long as they are able. Why, then, should those, who, in becoming parents, violate the laws of God and man, be exempt from the liability to support the unhappy fruits of their guilty passion.. I f►nd it a common practice, for men in all ranks, to compromise with the Parish for the maintenance of their illegitimate offspring, an arrangement by which, on the payment of .a certain sum to the overseer of the day, the parent considers himself absolved from the trouble and expence of bring ing up the child, and the parish officers assent to impose all the duties of the parental office on the parish. This ii a concession daily extended to vice, which would be denied to the most virtuous and industrious, whose progeny had had thernisfortune to come into the world in a way morally and legally correct. I quarrel not, no one can fairly quarrel, with a regulation so conformable with the dictates of nature, coincident with the finest feelings of the human heart, and so consistent with the principles of justice, as one which imposes ou parents the care and expellee of rearing their own children. But as the sum accepted by a parish officer will seldom cover the expeaces of the three first years of an infant's life, 1 ask, indignantly, why the expellee of the future years of a bastard's infancy and adolescence should be imposed .by rate upon► the inhabitants in general ? I see nothing in the reason of the thing, mid can find nothing in the law of the land which can be construed to bar a parish from insisting on the parents of mate, as well as of legitimate children, maintaining their own off spring. It is not, indeed, in the power of a parish officer, when he accepts a definite sum, legally to debar the parish from having recourse to either or both parents, when that sum has been ex pended on the nurture of the child, if more should be required. The strongest ease I can imagine against the parish would 'be when the officer has accepted a given stun from the father of the bestard, and in •consideration thereof has pledged the parish to rear the child, after which the father has died or cannot be found, and the mother has become the wife of another man, and the mo ther of other (legitimate) children ; yet I believe the parish may consider itself not precluded by the illegal transaction of its officer, but may call upon the mother to support her illegitimate child, if it can be shown that the sum received froM the father has been fairly expended, and that she has the power to do so. Now, as no legal tie unites the father and mother of an illegitimate child, and as the former is often but loosely connected with society, 1 think it but fair to the rest of the community, on whom the maintenance of the child would fall, if the parents were unequal to it, or if they could not be found, that the mother in all such cases should be called upon to affiliate her offspring, lest by her death or absence no evidence could be obtained of the male parent, and in conse quence of that the expense of rearing it should devolve upon those who owed no parental duties to it. Magistrates, then, who in insisting on a disclosure so important to society, are only carrying into effect the iutentions of an equitable law, are, in my opinion, entitled to the respect and support of all who take a right view of the case. , A. 13. There has been only a very limited business done this week,. either in the home or foreign trade; but a considerable quantity of grey cloth has beau taken by the printers from the manufac turere, preparatory to the American shipments and the spring trade. We kave little doubt that the period is now rapidly ap. preaching, when there will be a steady demand, both for home and. foreign consumption ; and the stocks of goods are generally so low, that a moderate demand would, we believe, soon clear the market.—gonchester Courier.

The Morning Herald still goes on publishing absurd and ridi culous statements of buyers SAW to he now in the Manchester Market, mixing in one mess, men who can buy thousands, with those who buy hundreds, persons who have been three weeks past, with them who have not yet appeared, and causing the whole thing to be laughed at by every tradesman who knows Manches ter. This is the paper to which we last week alluded, and if the silly varlet who supplies the information, could be found out, he would stand a chance of being tarred and feathered for crossing the line of truth. As to the actual state of trade, it is not worse thin usual at this time of the year, and we anticipate its revival early after Christtnas.—Stockport Advertiser. BIBLIOTHECA NUMISMATICA ET CLACSICk.

Since writing the . above, I find it will he necemary I should contradict a report of my having accepted 4 compromise for the money. I shall therefore hitt te what hoe occurred since the transaction. In one corner of an irregular and solitary green, communicating by intricate and 84km-trodden lanes with a long chain of com mons, stands a thatched and white-washed . cottage, whose littk. dovecot windows, high chimneys, and honey-suckled porckimaid, out picturesquely from a richly wooded back-ground ; whilst a magnificent yettr-tree, and a clear bright pond on one side of the house, and a clump of horse-tiles:arts overhanging some low weather-stained outbuildings on the other, form altogether an as semblage of objects that would tempt the pencil of a landscape painter, if ever painter could penetrate to a nook so utterly obscure. There is no road across the green, but a well-trodden footpath leads to the door of the dwelling, which the sign of a Bell sus. pended from the yew-tree, and a board over the door announcing " Hester home-brewed Beer," denote to he a small public house. • • For date or fnur•dayi aft*. took *4 - 1 heartl nothing of Mr. Auldjo ; at length one day on cominghonut, I Lund his card. on my table, but nothing more; I waited some days, mid then thinking it as well to remind him of the, debt, and considering his conduct very extraordinary,l called on him : be' wis not at :borne, and I left my card. still I heard nothing from him ; and at last, being about to have town, I wrote him a note requesting MOlllt settlement of the debt. 1 received an answer a short time afterwards, enclosing part of the money due, and which' letter is as followe It will be seen, by a letter inserted in another column, ad►lressed to, our respected Mayor, that the "Manufacturers Relief Com mittee," in London, has remitted to him the sum of 400/. towards the relief of the poor and unemployed in this town. Of this sum 2501. is for general purposes, and 150!. for clothing. The re lief hereby afforded will be gratefully received. The Committee in London, has, no doubt, heavy calls made upon it,' at a time when all mannfacturing districts are suffering the greatest priva tions. We are given to understand that we must not expect fur ther relief from the fund to which we have been so much in debtftl ; we must rely in future upon our own resources. What these resources are, time only can show. Many of those, who in• this town, formerly contributed to the relief of others, have •it not now in their power to do so ;--they have felt the benumbing effects of adversity.---Great as is the distress felt by the labour• ing classes, we are convinced that it is exceeded by that which is felt by those, who, from affluence have been reduced to poverty. Our• middling class of tradesmen feel such a diminution of 'nisi neas, and have such heavy parochial calls made upon them, that they have nothing to spare wherewith to relieve the distresses of otherc In this state of things, we cannot contemplate the pre sent with satisfaction, and we look to the future with uneasiness. Every body is surprised to see even the liumblestvillage hostel in such u situation ; but the Bell is, in reality, a house of great resort, not only on account of flester's home-brewed, which is said to be the best ale in the county, hut because, in point of fact, that apparently lonely and trackless. common is the very high road Of the drovers who. coin from different points of the west to the great mart, London. Seldom would that green be found without a flock of Welch sheep, foot-sore and weary, and yet tempted into grazing by the_short finegrass dispersed aver its surface, or a drove of gaunt Irish pigs sleeping in a corner, or a score of Devonshire cows straggling in all directions, picking the long grass from the ilirrounding ditches : whilst dog and man, shepherd and drover, might be seen basking in the sun before the porch, or stretched on the- settles by the fire, according to ;he weather and the season. " Dear ant sorry that you should have hid occasion to write to me on the subject of my debt to you, my treat loss on that evening has occasioned me much trouble in finding the means to meet it, especially with other severe blows Which have:struck my property, rendering me altogether inespable of dissharging the whole at one payment. You are winner of a - very large sum from me, and were it possible, 'I could wish. that 'very extended time he given to me to pay it; as I should be a very great loses in withdrawing my money from the investment in which it lie* at present. I beg you to receive 8001. enclosed as part payment, and would have placed it in your hands myself had I nut bean obliged to go into the, cpurttry this afternoon for a day or tvro. I called on you this forention, and was sorry that 1 did not see you. You will have the kindness to let me know whetter you received this letter, directing to me of Trin. Coll. Gin& Mot-' tingham House, near Ebben*, Kent, and patting private as a still greater security for my receiving it ; and, at the same time letting me know when you leave town that I may, if possible, call upon you before you go, as I should much wish to see you.

VILLAGE SKETCHES. A NEW MARRIED COUPLE. (Front the Monthly and European Magazine.) ASTRONOMY. A report is given in one of the French Papers that N. Gam bart, Astronomer at Marseilles, has diseovered, in the constellation Serpens, near the star Alpha of that constellation, a new celestial object of great brilliancy. He describes it as having a sensible diameter, but less than that of Mercury. Nevertheless, he. could observe its figure, and found it flattened like that of Jupiter. He speaks of it as resembling a coma, but without a till, and ex presses a doubt whether it be a new star or a comet, We imagine that, amid these somewhat conflicting statements, there must he some, mistake. The descriptions are extremely vague at elf events, and we should be glad to see some more accurate account before hazarding auy remark , upon it.

A paper was read to the society, by Mr. Airy, on a mode of calculating the effect of any small forces, acting upon a pendulum during its vibrations. Besides various other applica tions of this method, its use was shown in vestigating the pro perties of the escapements of clock. and watches ; and it was stated that the different escapements which have heeu invented are arranged by this theory in the same order as to their goodness, which they are known to hold in practice.

There is no pleasanter country sound than that of a peal of village bells, as they come vibrating through the air, giving token of marriage and merriment ; nor ever was that pleasant sound more welcome than on this still foggy gloomy November morning, when all nature stood as if at pause ; the large drops hanging on the thatch witbout.falling ; the sere leaves dangling on the trees; the birds mute and motionless on the boughs; turkies, children, geeee and pigs Unnaturally silent ; the whole world quiet and melancholy as snore of the enchanted places in the Arabian tales. That merry peal seemed at once to break the spell, and to awaken sounds and life, and motion., It had a peculiar welcome too, as stirring up one of the most active passions in woman or in man, and rousing the rational part of creation from the torpor induced by the season and the weather at the thrilling touch of .curiosity. Never was a completer puzzle. Nobody in our village had heard that a wedding was expected ; no unaccustomed conveyance, from a Coach to a wheel-harrow, had beep observed passing up the vicarage lane ;no banns had been published in church—no mar riage of gentility ; that is to say, of licence, talked of, or thought of ; none of our village beaux had been seen, as village beaux are ;le to be on such Occasions, smirking and fidgetty ; none of our village belles ashamed and shy. It was a most animating puzzle ; anil regardless of the weather, half the gossips of the street—in other words, half the inhabitants.--gathered together in knots end clusters, to discuss flirtations and calculate possibilities. Still the peals rang merrily on, and still the pleasant game of guessing continued, until the appearance of a well-known, but most unsuspected equipage, descending the hill from the church, and spewing dimly through the fag the most unequivocal signs of bridal finery, supplied exactly the solution which all riddles ought to have, adding a grand climax of amauement to the previous sus peace—the new-married couple b e in g precisely the two most un likely persons to commit matrimony in the whole neighbourhood; the only two whose names had never came in question during the discussion, both bride and bridegroom having been long considered the most confirmed and resolute old maid and old batchelor to be Found in the country side. Master Jacob Frost is an itinerant chapman, somewhere on the wrong side of sixty, who traverses the counties of Hants, hlerks, and Oxon, with a noisy lumbering cart full of panniers, contain ing the heterogeneous commodities of fruit and fish, driving during the summer a regular and profitable barter between the mat on one side of us and the cherry country on the other. We who live about midway between these two extreme points of his peregrina tion, have the benefit of both kinds of• merchandise going and coming ; and there is not a man, woman, or child, in the parish, who deem not know Master Frost's heavy cart and old grey mare half a mile off, as well as the stentorian cry of " Cherries, crabs, and sahnon," sometimes pickled and sometimes fresh, with which hemakes the common and village re-echo ; for, with an indefati gable perseverance, he cries his goods along the whole line of road, picking up customers where a man of less experience would despair, and so used. to utter those sounds whilst marching beside his rumbling equipage, that it would not be at all surprising if he were to cry " Cherries salmon ! salmon--cherries !" in his sleep. As to fatigue, that is entirely out of the question. Jacob is a man of iron ; a tall lean gaunt figure, all bone and sinew, constantly clad in a light brown jacket with breeches to match, long leather gaiters, ands leather cap ; his face and hair tanned by constant exposure to the weather into a tint so nearly resembling his vestments that he looks all of a colour, like the statue ghost in Don Giovanni, although the hue be different from that/renowned spectre—Jacob being a brown man. Perhaps Master Peter in Don Quixote, him of the ape and the eharnoy doublet, were the apter comparison ; or, with all reverence be it spoken, the ape himself. His visage is spare, and lean, and saturnine, enlivened by a slight cast in the dexter eye, and diversified by a partial loss of kis teeth, all those on the left hand having been knocked out by a cricket ball, which aided by the before•mentioned obliquity of vision, gives a peculiar one-sided expression to his physiognomy. His tongue is well hung and oily, as suits his vocation. No better man at a bargain than Master Frog t he would persuade you that brill was turbot, and that black cherries were Maydukes ; and yet to be an itinerant vender of fish, the rogue bath a con science. Try to bate him down, and he cheats you without scruple or mercy; but put him on his honour, and he shall deal as fairly with you as the honestest tnan in Billingsgate. Neither doth he ever impose upon children, with whom, in the matter of shrimps, perriwinkles, nuts and apples, and snub boyish ware, he bath frequent traffic. He is liberal to the urchins; and I have sometimes been amused to see the Wat Tyler and Robin Hood kind of spirit with which he will fling to some wistful penniless brat, the identical handful of cherries which, at the risk of his character and his customer, he !lath cribbed from the scales, when weighing out a long-contested bargain with creme clamorous housewife. Alio he is an approved judge and devoted lover of country spear; attends all poney races, donkey races, wrestling s and cricket matches, an amateur aud arbiter of the very fi rst water . At every revel or :Haying within six miles of his heat, may Master Frost beseen, pretending to the world, and doubtless to bis own conscience (for of all lies those that one tells to that stern monitor art the most . frequent,) that he is only there the way of business ; whilst in reality the cart, and the old white mare, wh o perfectly understands quietude, under some shady hedge; w hil s t a black sheep.do g , hi s constant an d trus ty . follower, k ee p s guard over the Pannier*, Master Frost himsel f the affair, may generally be found iu happy being seated i n f u ll state amidst the thi c k est of the throng, graves t of the umpi res , mos t impartial and learned of referees, utterly .panniers and sheep -dog. The veriest old woman of cartan that and evers i toTd e' before a stall, or carried a fruit-basket, would beat our shrewd merchant out of the' field on such a day as that ; its bath not even time to bestow a dole on his usual pen sioners the children? Unprofitable days to him, of a surety, so far as blameless pleasure can be called unprofitable; bat it is worth something to a spectator to behold hiM in his glory, to see the earnest gravity, the solemn importance with which he will ponder The damsel who, assisted by an old Chelsea pensioner, minus a leg, and followed by a little stunted red-haired parish girl, and a huge tabby cat, presided over the flourishing hostelry, was a spinster of sonic fifty years standing, with a reputation as uptight as her person.; a. woman of slow speech and civil demeanour, neat, prim, • precise, and orderly, stiff-atarched and strait-laced us any maiden gentlewoman within a hundred miles. In her youth she must have been handsome ; even now, abstract the exceeding prhnnesa, the pursed-up mouth and the bolt upright carriage, and Hester is fur from uncomely, for her complexion is delicate, and her features are regular. And Hester, besides her comeliness and her good ale, is well to do in the world, has money, in the stocks; some seventy pounds, a fortune in furniture, feather-beds, mat tresses, tables, presses, and chairs of shining walnut-tree, to say nothing of a store of home-spun linen, and the united wardrobes of ,thiee maiden aunts. A wealthy damsel was Heater, and her suitors must probably have exceaded in beauty and boldness those of any lady in the land. %lett drovers, Scotch pedlars, shep herds from Salisbury Plain, and pig -drivers • from Ireland— all these she resisted for tivo.and-thirty years, determined to live and die "in single blessedness," and " leave the world no copy." And she it is whom Jacob has won, from Scotchmau and Irish ' man; pig-dealer' 'and shepherd, she who now sits at his side in sober finery, a _demure_ and blushing bride! Who would ever have thought of Heater's marrying ! And when ran the wooing have, been ? And how will they go on together ? Will Master 141+,4 - still travel the country, or will lie link quietly into the landlord of the Bell? And was the match for love or for money ? Anal what will become of the lame ostler? And how will Ja cob's sheep-dog agree with Hester's eat ? These, and a thousand snub, are the questions of the village, whilst the bells ring mer rily, and the new-married couple wend peaceably home. M. GAMBLING. Mll.. WA I.ItOSTD'S STATE/41MT CONCIMNINC 1117 F. AFFAIR AT RICHMOND. When first I heard of the charge brought against me, in con. sequence of the affair at Richmond, I treated it with indignant contempt, and considered it in itself so incredible, that I would not even inconvenience myself by taking the trouble to come to London to repel it in person.. It has since assumed a more se rious aspect, and as the most base and infamous calumnies have been put forth, I am compelled to make the following statement : 1 begin with my acquaintance with the parties accinied. I was introduced to Mr. - O'Neill, at Cheltenham,. in 1828, by Lord Edward Chichester, and dined in company with bins at Lord Edward's house. From that time until the end of the mouth of .duly last we had a mere bowing acquaintance, no conversation or communication of any sort having ever taken place between us. At the close of that mouth, a circum stance connected with my late election occasioned a closer inter sconrse, and took tie twice to the neighbourhood of Richmond. This affair it Is unnecessary to detail, as it touches not in any way the present transaction. During one of thooe trips, we wade an engagement to dine on a subsequent day with a family in the neighbourhood. Mr. O'Neill said he would drive me down in his tilbury, and desired me to conic to Isis house for that purpose I was late, and he came to my door before I was ready; sitting with him in the tilbury was Mr. Boland, to whom he then introduced me, and this was the that time I ever saw that gentleman. Two or three days afterwards Mr. Bo land met me in the street, and talking of the emptiness of Lon don, asked me where I was going to dine either that day or the next, I am not sure which, and finding I was disengaged, in vited me to dine at his lodgings in Stratton -street, to meet Mr. O'Neill. I should mention, that Mr. Boland had called on me in the interim, between the introduction and thin) invitation, but was not at home, and had not yet returned hie visit. Y went land there, for . the first time, saw Mr. Auldjo and his brother. Two or three days more passed, when I was driving my cabriolet through Hyde Park-gate, I met Mr. O'Neill, who said, " Will you come down and dine at Richmond to-day? Lord Clauricarde is going to drive a party of us down." I replied, " I do no t know Lord Clanricarde he said, " Oh, I'll introduce you, come and take your chance of is seat." This was in the morn. ing, and in the afternoon, at about five o'clock, I went to Mr. O'Neill's door : I there found Lord Clauricarde's four-in-hand waiting, and himself and Lord Hewth standing on the pavement. Mr. O'Neill was not then present; whether Mr. Auldjo was there at the time I drove up I cannot tell, ,but he certainly was there immediately afterwards. When Mr. O'Neill came, he introduced me to Lords Clanricarde and Howth. The last of the Noblemen I had never before seen, the. first I had, once many years before met at dinner at Dowager Lady Clan ricarde'v, but we had since bad no acquaintance, and on this sub• jest a conversation took place between Lord Clanricarde and my. self at dinner. We all mounted on the outside of Lord Clanri carde's carriage and drov e to Richmond. At dinner a conversa tion arose between bird Clauricarde and Mr. O'Neill, which ended in a proposal from one to the other to play at ecarte.— Some time after dinner the bell was rung, and cards were demired to be brought, and in the Course of the evening they rat down to that game. I moved from the desert table soon afterwards, end made some small bete with Mr. O'Neill upon the game. A round game was proposed by some of the gentlemen present, which after tome discussion which I did not hear, having left the play became m recollection , ec high, A of Mr. R Alru. htiAo ul haddj room for a few minutes, was agreed to. On my re t urn I found them all sitting round the table, and sat down w i t h them.— Macao *AI proporsed, and rejected afterw ar d s ; Lou was intro (l 1 1 " in !'-' r et se t lf t ti i e di s t ' l mart isi according to na know the game, in consequence of which two or :three rounds were played expressly to t eac h me b efore we played wan r r i n a on lit ey rg ; e afterwards si the la I had then lost 1,400/, or 1,5004 Mr. Auld.l( l, who sat next nre played with great coolness and care, never risk ing anything ufilese he had a very good hand. li e a ftervettrtN . a: d st h i m e t e l t l i e i n i ng dee v l e a r r y ed ia t r h ge at ), if il l e re m b ea sl iitly, won to the last sbtaekgaen(titollvoasse, for have risen from the table. I recollect this the more particul a r ly, it st r u c k toe at the time as rather unusual, and certainly " To B. Walrond, Esq., Chapel-street, West, May-flit." I immediately replied, that I had myself felt the great inconve nience of paying down, and would never press another. That I enclosed his T. 0. U. fur the whole amount,. and 'merely begged he would send some acknowledgment, or a bill at six months' • sight jar the remainder.. To this letter. I received no answer; I went into the country, and thence, after some time, wrote to him, saying I had sent such A letter, which certaiuly required are answer,• and I was surprised to have received none. Ten days afterwards he wrote, saying " He would pay no more, and would refer the matter to the Magistrates at the Politer-office, if prettied on the subject." - To this letter, actuated by warmth of my feelings, I at first wrote a violent answer, but, on calmer reaec tion, and the advice of .my friends, who feared such a course would lay me open to legal proceedings, suppressed it, determiniog on my return to town to seek from Mr. Auldjo a persona) expla nation in the presence of all the parties. About a month after Wards, I received a letter from 'lllr. -How ard, a solicitor, stating, " That he was instructed by Mr. Auldjo's friends and relatives to proceed against me for the money paid, un leas I immediately returned it, and on which subject he had ap plied to Mr. O'Neill, but he declined to interfere. I have kept mn copy of my answer, but in sense, and I think in words, it was 44 follows :—" Sir, I have received your letter, and Jose not a moment in stating that I will resist to the utmost in turpower the infamous demand made upon me, to the end that publicite being given to the whole transaction, each party therein concerned may be held up to the world in his Own' proper colours. Mr. O'Neill acted properly in declining the commission you Seemed to have wished him to undertake, for as he was one of those who first introduced Mr: 'Auldjo into my society,' I might in that cans have considered his conduct as connected with the above-named individual, an idea which I should hope he would not approve." The letter is probably still in existence, soil I challeng e any o ne to show that lever made or accepted any offer of compromise. I have now fairly stated this entire transaction as it occur r red• Mr. Auldjo himself will. not venture to impugn its acuncracy, if be does, he can be contradicted by all the person. to whom I have re ferred ; and, for my (Arm part, I am perfectly ready to submit the whole affair twit committee of gentlemen. - - As some insinuation has been thrown nut with respect to the age of the parti►s, I can only atty, that I myself cm aluut 26, amt that Mr. A ultjjo is more than 21. (Signed) BETHELL WALROND. Mr. O'Neill has published the following letter : Sta—A paragraph that appeared in the Ape newspaper of y ir4 ... terday, mentioning my name a s h av i ng play e d w ith Ir., \Vedder burn Webster, has but anticipated the publicity which wilful umie atateuieuts and false reports call on men to offer. In reference to every person from whom I ever won above 10/., those persons are but five in number, and, in the whole course of my life, I never moon in private play hut from them—two of thou from whom I won by far the largest sums, I shall satisfactorily prove (and, in deed, they bad the candour to acknowledge) woo afterwards as, much, or more, from nae. One, in a letter, neva the words,. "lie cannot say on whose side the balance is;" the third won back 501. ant of the 2001. that I won front him; Mr. Webeter's affair is the fourth ; and some money won at Ecarti,from a gentleman ofpley habits, and my senior, includes all I everwou. At Doncados at Mr. Grady's hotel, I met Lord Clauriorde, Mr. Webster, Mr. Burton, and Mr. Hawke. Mr. Grady „was at dinner when I engagement.eame ; l soon l a returned r the att cloth era e was onsia ermoreabfretici me, a v n i particularg rlo a the gentlemen at play. 'played, and bet onrny own hand,amongst others with Mr. Webster; from whom I thus won 1001—a very trifling difference occurred between him and me, on which I expremed self, perhaps, too warmly, and declined play, as I conceived we were playing for ready money. Mr. Webster borrowed 100/. from Mr. Bowles , and paid me. I paid 404, the amount of my losses, and went to dress far the ball, leaving Mr. Webster in the room. I called on Lord Clanricarde, and he accompanied me to the ball. 1 knew Mr. Weimer slightly in town. Every report est it relates to me, differing from thin, is false. My statement will contain the letter of the gentleman at whose particular request I became ac quainted with Mr. Auldjo, and will prove that, except once when riding through Charing-cross, where I was introduced to hicu, and at Mr. Boland's table, and at the cricket-ground, in all them times I never saw that person, and did not ever invite Jima t" my house, or visit him. A system of persecution obliges me pre maturely to publish a statement, and I shall place copies of it ism . the hands of sever a l gent l emen of r es pect a bility and rank. But as a Court of Justi ce h as refused its shield, on account of my having ,iolated a statut e , b y playing for ab co louring, and o f i n j ur i ous ten d ency, an d fore-assert libels, for which state nente there are now two actions pending ;, o e v n e d l a o l i l " th i is a to P w i Tr i ds t' pub a l person meeting th e i n di ct M ent aga i n st him, under the following cir cumstances On the e vid e nce a Mr. Anh i j o and his the Grand Jury found a bill cif indictment against me and two other gen tlemen, on Saturday, November e 5.
